Passiflora

by Superstudio
The Passiflora lighting fixture comes from a painted cardboard prototype made for the exhibition “Superarchitettura” [December 1966], a manifesto of Radical Design. The cardboard was replaced with a light–permeable material, transforming Passiflora into a truncated luminous column: a column whose deformed profile wavers between natural and artificial, in a game of allusions and ambiguities, corresponding to the statement of intent of Superstudio, summed up in the text “Invention Design and Evasion Design”.

XS stands for EXTRA SUPERSTUDIO

Salone Internazionale del Mobile
Rho Fiera, Milan
Hall 24, Booth D33
 
April 8–13 / 9.30 am – 6.30 pm

XS is an exhibition presenting a selection of Poltronova’s iconic designs — like Passiflora by Superstudio, 1967 — alongside something unexpected.

🌼 The Passiflora lighting fixture comes from a painted cardboard prototype made for the exhibition “Superarchitettura” [December 1966], a manifesto of Radical Design.

🌼 The cardboard was replaced with a light–permeable material, transforming Passiflora into a truncated luminous column: a column whose deformed profile wavers between natural and artificial, in a game of allusions and ambiguities, corresponding to the statement of intent of Superstudio, summed up in the text “Invention Design and Evasion Design”.
